I’ve done a few of the things in the book, like #28 for instance, which is to drink beer.

#8 in the book is to write a “Did Do” List. Instead of making a list of stuff you’re supposed to get done, you write down a list of things you accomplished in a day. Having survived our first day alone all day together, I decided to write my own “Did Do” list.

No wonder I was exhausted at the end of the day! Just exactly who am I trying to impress, anyway? Today I am taking it easy.

Wow! You are a whirlwind! I like the idea of a did-do list. Sometimes, my whole day goes and I feel like I've gotten nothing accomplished. Little tasks take up time and need to be done, but don't feel like accomplishments.
